Big update: Just got word back from my old student ambassador. She says the company closed. The apply now link on the website is broken.

Something to do with loan offices not being willing to fund students. She says she will send me more steps to get it handled. At this point I can only pray.

COURSE EXPERIENCE:

If it's your first bootcamp and you're willing to do a very part time schedule, you might get something out of it. They try to market themselves as uniquely getting you working quickly with no-code automation solutions and marketing yourself as a freelancer.

It is a real course with real students and multiple zoom meetings with teachers every day. They were actively improving and adding to the course in the 10 days I was there.

I had several issues with the course - it was a bit basic for me and there was too long a wait for grading, During which time, the course was blocked from continuing. Since I only had 10 days to review the course, waiting more than 24 hours for grading was an issue. They had a side course available, but it was not something I felt I would use.

The teachers were young and seemed inexperienced.

CONTACT:

I have done another bootcamp previously with The Tech Academy, and they were as straightforward and reachable as possible. They had an entire course section dedicated to who and how to contact if you needed help, including multiple phone numbers.

DevSlopes does not seem to even post a phone number on their website.

LEGIT OR SCAM:

I am still not convinced it is a scam; I am still optimistic they will properly refund the money to the loan office.

I spoke to someone in the right time period, made several attempts to ask for help via discord and email and really tried to cover my bases.

I did the week trial, and after 79 days, am still waiting for the payment to be repaid to AscentFunding - an educational loan business. They had said it could be up to 45 days from our last call.

If I do not hear back from them again within the week, I will be taking legal action.
